Managing Post-Sepsis Fatigue During Recovery
Post-sepsis fatigue can be exhausting and overwhelming. This session provides you with information and practical tools to help you understand and manage fatigue during recovery.
Fatigue is one of the most common things people experience following sepsis, but it can be difficult to describe. Post-sepsis fatigue is different from the everyday tiredness that we all experience at times – it’s complete physical and mental exhaustion that’s not relieved by sleep or rest periods.
There is no set timeframe for recovery. For some, fatigue can continue for months or even years, making recovery much more challenging. If this is something you’re experiencing, you’re not alone.
Hosted by UKST’s Lead Support Nurse, Oliver, this session is designed for anyone who is experiencing fatigue after sepsis, as well as those who may be supporting a loved one during recovery. It covers:
- What fatigue is
- Why some people experience fatigue post-sepsis
- Strategies to consider
- Goal setting
- Top tips for managing fatigue
